Forever House

Drum Theatre Plymouth Productions presents the stories of three different couples who are cautiously looking to the future.

Kieran Lyons exploration of drawing spans for more than thirty years. His detailed drawings map the line of travel and the "impulse that attracts a drawn line away from its original direction of travel". The exhibition aims to represent the artist's varied and diverse practice, as he uses sculpture, installation, animation and digital projection as a tool to explore the notion of drawing. Currently the artist is influenced by the artist, Marcel Duchamps first experiments with chance, and with this has created new work especially for this exhibition.

Tim Andrews has gained an International reputation for his distinctive smoke-fired and raku ceramics. Many works are black and white with linear decoration or burnished with muted coloured slips. His pieces have been acquired for both public and private collections and are exhibited widely across the UK and abroad.

Tim has been working as a potter for more than 35 years starting as an apprentice to David Leach in the late 1970s. His latest work was inspired by a visit to China, where he visited old Sung Dynasty kiln sites. He has since mastered some very difficult techniques and challenges to combine raku, porcelain and black stoneware. The outcome is some truly stunning work.

Hailing from coastal Devon, Brighton-based singer-songwriter James Robinson has been favorably compared to vocalists such as Coldplay's Chris Martin and Jamie Cullum. The son of a writer and a music journalist, James established himself as the charismatic front man of alt-pop band Two Spot Gobi. TSG gave James his first platform to write and perform with other musicians and when spotted by singer Jason Mraz, James and the band were invited to support him on tours in the UK, Europe and the US.
